Mrs. Jesusa Alexandrino Bello Hilgard, the wife of Professor E. W. Hilgard, dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of California, passed away this morning at her home, 2728 Bancroft way.

Two daughters survive Mrs. Hilgard —Maria Louise and Alice Rose Hilgard. The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock ¥ridav morning from St. Joseph's Church.

Heath precipitated the trouble by at- tempting to assault Borden, who, as the representative of the Bank of Alameda, bad just been awarded $115 damages in a suit against T. Vonah, a former asso- ciate of Heath in the dairy business. Heath was called by the defense as a witness in the trial.

Thoughts of home and fatherland over- came Oluf Henry Rudolf Petersen to-day when It came to forswearing his alle- | glance to King Christian IX of Denmark | and he broke down and cried when it came to taking the oath required of him in order to become a citizen of the United States. Only the assurances of his broth- er, Nills H. Petersen, that many of their fellow countrymen had done the same thing before them, finally satisfled him that he was not a traitor to the flag that | protected him at his birth. in the ancient home of the Vikings. The two Petersens appeared before Chief Deputy George Plerce to-day to de- clare thelr intentions of becoming citizens of this country and to take out their first papers. Their names, ages and land of their birth were quickly forthcoming, but when they were required to hold up their hands and swear to renounce forever their allegiance to King Christian IX, the reigning sovereign of Denmark, Oluf broke down and cried and refused to go on with the obligations. He talked fast to his brother in his na- tive tongue and pointed in tha direction of their childhood's home and walked away from the desk. The brother took the necessary obligation and explained the cause of his brother’s refusal, He then went and talked to him and ' finally brought him back, when the oath was taken.
